SENTRY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION - KNOGO NORTH AMERICA INC. AND VIDEO SENTRY
CORPORATION MERGER Sentry Technology Corporation ("Sentry") a newly publicly
traded Delaware Corporation, was established to effect the merger of Knogo North
America Inc. ("Knogo N.A.") and Video Sentry Corporation ("Video Sentry") which
was consummated on February 12, 1997 (the "Effective Date"). The merger resulted
in Knogo N.A. and Video Sentry becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Sentry. The
term "Company" refers to Sentry as of and subsequent to February 12, 1997 and to
Knogo N.A. prior to such date.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Sentry issued one share of Common Stock for
each one share of Video Sentry Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of
the merger. Sentry also issued one share of Common Stock and one share of Class
A Preferred Stock for each 1.2022 shares of Knogo N.A. Common Stock outstanding.
The Sentry Class A Preferred Stock has a face value of $5.00 per share and a
cumulative dividend rate of 5.0% (the first two years of which are
paid-in-kind). The preferred is non-voting and subject to a mandatory redemption
four years from the date of issuance and optional redemption by Sentry at any
time after one year from the date of issuance. The redemption price will be
equal to $5.00 per preferred share (plus accrued and unpaid dividends as of the
redemption date) plus the amount, if any, by which the market price of Sentry's
Common Stock at the time of redemption exceeds a hurdle price based on the price
of Sentry Common Stock one year after the Effective Date. The minimum hurdle
price is $5.00 per share and the maximum is $6.50. The preferred stock is not
convertible, but the redemption price may, in certain circumstances, be paid in
common stock at Sentry's option. Undeclared and unpaid cumulative dividends
totaled $154,000 as of March 31, 1997.

The merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and
accordingly, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been recorded at
their estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and
other intangibles in the amount of approximately $11,350,000 have been
capitalized and non-recurring charges of approximately $13,200,000 relating to
in-process research and development have been expensed. The goodwill and other
intangibles will be amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years.
Although Video Sentry shareholders have a majority voting interest in Sentry
based upon their common stock ownership percentage, generally accepted
accounting principles requires consideration of a number of factors, in addition
to voting interest, in determining the acquiring entity for purposes of purchase
accounting treatment. Such other factors to be considered include: (i) key
Sentry management positions are held by individuals previously holding similar
such positions in Knogo N.A.; (ii) the assets, revenues and net earnings of
Knogo N.A. significantly exceed those of Video Sentry; and (iii) the market
value of the securities received by the former holders of Knogo N.A. Common
Stock significantly exceeds the market value of the securities received by the
former holders of Video Sentry Common Stock. As a result of these other factors,
and solely for accounting and financial reporting purposes, the merger has been
accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Video Sentry by Knogo N.A. Accordingly
the financial statements of Knogo N.A. are the historical financial statements
of Sentry and the results of Sentry's operations include the results of
operations of Video Sentry after the Effective Date.

The consolidated balance sheet reflects the merger as of February 12, 1997, when
Sentry acquired all of the outstanding Video Sentry Common Stock at its fair
value plus direct costs incurred which are approximately $2,383,000. The
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the historical
results of Knogo N.A. in all periods presented and include the results of Video
Sentry after the Effective Date.

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods
indicated have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.

NOTE B  --  RESTATEMENT
Common stock, additional paid-in capital and the weighted average common shares
have been retroactively restated to the earliest year presented in order to
reflect the effect of the recapitalization that occurred during the reverse
acquisition.

NOTE F  --  GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS
In March 1996, the Company completed the sale of certain assets (primarily
patents and technology) of its library security systems business to Minnesota
Mining and Manufacturing Company ("3M") for a purchase price of $3 million, paid
at closing. In connection with such sale, Knogo N.A. and 3M entered into an
agreement pursuant to which the Company has become a distributor of certain of
3M's library systems products for an initial term of three years and has agreed
not to compete with 3M in the sale of security systems products (other than
closed circuit video systems) in the library market except as otherwise
contemplated by the transaction documentation. The parties also settled certain
patent litigation between them.

SENTRY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997


The impact of the transaction resulted in an increase in cash of $3 million and
pretax gain of approximately $2.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
The impact on the Company's historical revenues and net income from the sale of
products covered by the patents and related technology sold is not material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Consolidated revenues were 8% lower in the first quarter ended March 31, 1997
than in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Revenues from customers other than
Sensormatic in the current period were $3,827,000 or 75% of total revenues as
compared to $3,389,000 or 61% of total revenues in the prior period. As the
merger only became effective February 12, 1997, revenues from Video Sentry's
product lines contributed only $358,000 but still represented the majority of
the increase in the quarter. In 1996, the Company entered into a contract with a
retail customer which provided for additional revenues if certain shrinkage
reductions were met. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company was notified by
the customer that although there were overall shrinkage reductions, the
contractual target amounts were not achieved and, therefore, the additional
revenues for those stores would not be due. Subsequently, however, the customer
amended and renewed its master agreement with the Company to be the exclusive
supplier of EAS and CCTV equipment for the next five years with standard pricing
and terms. Sales under the Supply Agreement with Sensormatic in the first
quarter of 1997 were significantly lower representing $774,000 or 15% of total
revenues as compared to $2,163,000 or 39% of total revenues in the first quarter
of 1996. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Sensormatic had minimum
obligations to purchase $2 million in each of the two remaining quarters of 1997
before the agreement expires on June 30. As Sensormatic did not meet its minimum
order amounts in the current period, the Company recorded in revenues $502,000
which represented the minimum contractual margins on the shortfall. Based on
meetings with Sensormatic management and forecasts received, the Company expects
that the minimum order amounts will not be met in the next quarter and
Sensormatic will be obligated to pay the Company the agreed upon margins on the
shortfall. Sentry anticipates replacing these future revenues with continued
growth in its core markets and through the promotion of the SentryVision(TM)
product line. Sales represented 80% and service revenues and other income 20% of
total revenues in 1997 as compared to 90% and 10% in 1996.

     Cost of sales were 49% of total revenues in the quarter ended March 31,
1997 compared to 47% in the same period in the previous year. The cost of sales
percentage is impacted by several factors including the mix of products sold to
its own third party customers and the amount of sales to Sensormatic under the
Supply Agreement. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold a higher
percentage of CCVS equipment and 3M library products to its third party
customers than in the same period in 1996. These products are not manufactured
directly by Sentry and carry lower margins than the traditional EAS products it
does produce. In the first three months of 1997 cost of sales was also
negatively impacted by the lower production levels at the Company's Puerto Rico
manufacturing facility due to the decline in sales to Sensormatic and the
ramping up for the production of Sentry Vision(TM) products which had not yet
commenced. 

Customer service expenses were higher in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the first quarter of 1996 due to the addition of Video Sentry
customer service staff, technical updates made to the existing installed Video
Sentry customer base and cross training for existing staff on EAS and CCTV
(including SentryVision(TM)) product lines.

SENTRY TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996 is primarily a result
of the amortization of acquired goodwill and intangibles, merger related
integration and sales promotion expenses and higher provisions for bad debts.

The increase in research and development costs in the quarter ended March 31,
1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is a result of the
continuing efforts towards improving the SentryVision(TM) traveling CCTV
surveillance system which the Company commenced selling in the first quarter of
1997.

In the first quarter of 1997 when the merger was consummated, Sentry recorded a
non-recurring charge of $13,200,000 relating to purchased in-process research
and development. The amount was based on the purchase price allocation and a
valuation of existing technology and technology in-process. The charge for
in-process research and development equaled its estimated current fair value
based on a risk adjusted cash flows of specifically identified technologies for
which the technological feasibility has not been established and alternative
future uses did not exist.

The Company's interest income was $75,000 in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to $21,000 in the same period of 1996. The increase is due to the
investment of the proceeds from the sale/leaseback transaction of the Company's
corporate headquarters at the end of 1996. These amounts are shown net of
interest expense of $21,000 in both periods related to capitalized leases.

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold certain assets to 3M, consisting
of patents and technology, for a purchase price of $3 million. The proceeds, net
of certain costs including patent costs, inventory write downs, new product
training costs, legal and other costs, resulted in a gain of approximately $2.5
million which is included in the results of that period. See Note F.

Sentry's lower income taxes in the current period represents the normal
provisions on the earnings of the Puerto Rico manufacturing operations. The
higher amount in the 1996 period was primarily related to the tax on the gain on
the sale of assets to 3M which were taxed at the statutory federal tax rate.

As a result of the foregoing, Sentry had a net loss of $14,280,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to net income of $1,878,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF MARCH 31, 1997

During the quarter and primarily as a result of the merger, Sentry used
approximately $2.9 million in cash. The Company utilized existing funds of $2.2
million to retire acquired Video Sentry debt. As of March 31, 1997 the Company
had no bank debt.

Before the end of May 1997, Sentry intends to enter into a new credit
arrangement with Knogo N.A.'s present lender, Fleet Bank, and thereafter to make
advances to each of Video Sentry and Knogo N.A. as the business of the two
subsidiaries may require. Based upon discussions between Knogo N.A.'s management
and senior lending officers at Fleet Bank, Sentry believes that a new facility
will be made available to it for at least the same amount, and on substantially
the same terms, as are currently made available to Knogo N.A. Such facility
would be secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Sentry and its
subsidiaries.

Despite the expiration of the Supply Agreement, the Company anticipates that
current cash reserves, cash generated by operations and cash obtained under the
bank credit facility expected to be entered into by Sentry will be adequate to
finance its anticipated working capital requirements as well as future capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
